Reuse bug repellent!
Can we please be allowed to use the bug repellent while under it's efffect. I mean the spiders have ridiculously long aggro range, if their hunger drops too much they get bugged and basicslly become untamable, and they really aren't worth all the effort they currently need. So can it at least be made easier by making it possible to use the repellent while still under it's effect so I don't have to run away out of aggro range, wait till the effect is gone and then reuse it.

+1 I am finding that the repellent's effect fades when the counter is under 5 minutes (300 seconds). I have repeatedly tested this and the bugs will aggro at that point, even if I am a good distance away. I have given up trying to tame them. Even with kibble, I run out of "repellent" effect, even though the counter is above 200 seconds, and they agro before the tame can complete.

Spiders are HORRIBLY annoying to tame. I spent 2 hours last night trying to tame a level 28. I aggroed it into a pen, shut the door...and left. I came back once it calmed down with my bug spray on, and it would get next to the enclosure edges and I'd get to "feed" it. The taming bar went up, but it never took more than 4 bites in a row without shifting directions and sitting exactly where you couldn't get the "feed" option to come up. I would have to move away to apply more spray, and in that time the bar would drop. I got the thing to 3/4 tame, and then it sat where I couldn't reach it, inside a pen which consisted of 4 thatch walls. The bar went to nearly zero, and then it went to where I could feed it. I repeated this process twice, having the bar go up, and then for no reason, suddenly drop to the start. I've tamed larger, dinos with much less effort. The fact the spray spoils just adds another layer of annoying. Dial it down on the spiders or at least get them to sit STILL to be fed, like a damn ichy does.
